Dr. Rajnikant Rajhans, Dean, R&D, NICMAR University, Emphasizes on Correlation of AI and NEP

“AI is reducing the time for our faculty members, it was never a threat for us” says Dr. Rajnikant Rajhans, Dean, R&D, NICMAR University in an interview at “ArdorComm New Normal- Education Leadership Summit & Awards 2023” held in Pune, Maharashtra on 24th November 2023. How is NEP going to be transformational in aligning the upcoming labour force with market requirements at NICMAR University? NICMAR, as an industry-focused institution in construction, real estate, and infrastructure, emphasizes providing skilled labour to meet industry needs. The National Education Policy (NEP) has been instrumental in shaping our objective of outcome-based education, contributing significantly to building a skilled labour force. The focus has always been on delivering the best labour force and management to the industry, and the NEP, with its outcome-based education approach, further strengthens our ability to achieve this goal. What are the current projects that NICMAR is working on? NICMAR’s current projects are anchored in the CEB Model – Community, Environment, and Business Based research model. Our commitment to addressing community issues and offering solutions enhances the quality of our research projects. Engaging in sustainable projects with local and industrial partners, we work towards providing researched solutions and research papers. This aligns with our implementation of outcome-based education, ensuring a practical and impactful approach to our research endeavours. How is NEP and AI correlating at NICMAR University? The correlation between the National Education Policy (NEP) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) at NICMAR University is viewed positively. Today, we had an insightful presentation on the impact of AI on various aspects, including education and industries. AI, far from being a threat, is seen as a tool that enhances the efficiency of our faculty members. It has significantly reduced the time required for certain tasks, benefiting our educational ecosystem. The integration of AI into our organization is a gradual and deliberate process, aimed at improving our educational processes and overall efficiency.

Education

President Droupadi Murmu delivered a compelling address on Thursday, advocating for a paradigm shift in India’s education system, particularly in management institutions. The occasion was the conferment of the Lakshmipat Singhania – IIM Lucknow National Leadership Awards in New Delhi. President Murmu underscored the urgent need to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into management education to foster comprehensive development. She emphasized the vital role of entrepreneurship in Indian culture, contrasting it with profit maximization, which she noted aligns more with Western values. Addressing the adverse effects of relentless production pursuits on humanity, including climate change and ecological disruptions, President Murmu stressed the importance of inclusive development. She praised the growing culture of self-employment among Indian youth, recognizing their contribution to the nation’s status as the third-largest global startup ecosystem. Commending the management skills and technical expertise displayed by Indian youth, President Murmu urged a transformation in educational curriculum to align with local companies, consumers, and society. She recommended a shift in focus from international case studies to those involving Indian and multinational companies operating within the country. Highlighting recent events, such as the successful rescue in Uttarakhand, President Murmu emphasized their significance as subjects for leadership and teamwork studies, especially during crises. She called for collaborative efforts between managers, educators, and organizational leaders to shape inclusive and effective national development. Regarding concerns about job displacement due to AI, President Murmu advocated integrating all dimensions of AI into management education. She reassured that individuals well-versed in AI need not fear job loss, emphasizing the role of institutions like IIM Lucknow in crafting curricula to propel India towards developed nation status. In her impassioned call for a paradigm shift in management education, President Murmu aims to equip future leaders with the skills and mindset necessary to navigate the complexities of the evolving global landscape. This, she believes, will contribute to holistic growth and sustainable development in India’s envisioned “Amrit Kaal.”
